            number. Some wise person said that things happen in threes,</font> <font color="#FFFFFF">and
            for Anthony O’Brien, the wise person couldn’t be more
            correct!&nbsp;<br>
            <br>
            Following two initial band formations The People and Three&nbsp;
            Sided Circle, which</font> <font color="#FFFFFF">both unfortunately
            resulted in division, singer/songwriter/guitarist Anthony</font> <font color="#FFFFFF">O’Brien
            is now in current pursuit of his burning desire to be part of the</font>
            <font color="#FFFFFF">ambitious music scene with his fellow band
            mates and new identity Inside View</font>&nbsp;<font color="#FFFFFF"><br>
            <br>
            With two failed bands as reference, Ant’s judgment on starting a
            new venture</font> <font color="#FFFFFF">was not self-assured to say
            the least. It took six months of reflection and</font> <font color="#FFFFFF">thought
            on whether a solo career, if any career in music would be an option.</font>
            <font color="#FFFFFF">Fortunately, the slight imperfections of the
            past were brought to closure as a</font> <font color="#FFFFFF">new
            band began to take shape.</font>&nbsp;<font color="#FFFFFF"><br>
            <br>
            During the summer of 2016, a talented young drummer, Chris
            Wainwright, was</font> <font color="#FFFFFF">discovered by Ant while
            he was watching a practice session of a band Chris was</font> <font color="#FFFFFF">part
            of at the time. Ant was extremely impressed and at first hearing
            that</font> <font color="#FFFFFF">Chris’s band had split up, Ant
            jumped at the opportunity to work with him.</font>&nbsp;<font color="#FFFFFF"><br>
            <br>
            Several months of practice conjured some exciting music. However,
            both Chris</font> <font color="#FFFFFF">and Ant where still
            searching for the missing link. Many musicians where auditioned, but
            due to lack of commitment or interest, none where taken on&nbsp;</font>&nbsp;<font color="#FFFFFF">
            board.</font> <font color="#FFFFFF">Matt Ashton, a promising,
            confident bassist came into sight when he arrived at</font> <font color="#FFFFFF">Ant
            and Chris’s rehearsal studio to practice with them. Even with
            limited</font> <font color="#FFFFFF">experience both Ant and Chris
            saw a great deal of potential in him, and so the</font> <font color="#FFFFFF">three
            piece band originated.</font>&nbsp;<font color="#FFFFFF"><br>
            <br>
            Things were finally slotting into place. The subsequent month or so
            saw the</font> <font color="#FFFFFF">threefold working together,
            contributing each others unique creativity through</font> <font color="#FFFFFF">writing
            and development of songs. However, while three was a magic number,</font>
            <font color="#FFFFFF">four seemed to be the formula which fit, and
            Ant, Chris and Matt agreed a</font> <font color="#FFFFFF">fourth
            member may enhance the groups sound.</font>&nbsp;<font color="#FFFFFF"><br>
            <br>
            After another round of unsuccessful auditions, a message posted by
            the band on</font> <font color="#FFFFFF">a local music internet site
            caught the eye of inquisitive lead guitarist,</font> <font color="#FFFFFF">Scott
            Steele. Ant invited Scott to a practice session even&nbsp; though
            Matt and&nbsp;</font> <font color="#FFFFFF">Chris were unable to
            attend. The pressure must have been immense for Scott,&nbsp;</font> <font color="#FFFFFF">yet
            his talent shone though flawlessly. Ant invited Scott to a full
            band&nbsp;</font> <font color="#FFFFFF">rehearsal, and the vote was
            unanimous, Scott fit perfectly as the missing&nbsp;</font> <font color="#FFFFFF">piece
            in Inside View’s musical puzzle.&nbsp;</font>&nbsp;<font color="#FFFFFF"><br>
            <br>
            Inside View&nbsp; officially formed in November 2016, and months of
            rehearsals lead&nbsp;</font> <font color="#FFFFFF">them to their
            first impressive live gig&nbsp; at The Tavern in February 2005.
            Their&nbsp;</font> <font color="#FFFFFF">success has spiraled,
            landing them with gigs in excellent venues&nbsp; such as The&nbsp;</font>
            <font color="#FFFFFF">Roadhouse and The Night and Day Café in
            Manchester, and also at the JJB&nbsp;</font> <font color="#FFFFFF">stadium
            in their hometown, Wigan.&nbsp;</font>&nbsp;<font color="#FFFFFF"><br>
            <br>
            Also Inside View has recently finished recording three tracks
            at&nbsp; John Kettle’s&nbsp;</font> <font color="#FFFFFF">Jarraf
            House studio, which will be available at future gigs.&nbsp;</font> <font color="#FFFFFF">With
            such great opportunities&nbsp; arising in the pipeline in such a
            short length&nbsp;</font> <font color="#FFFFFF">of time Inside View
            are set to keep escalating. With Ant’s&nbsp; false starts
            his&nbsp;</font> <font color="#FFFFFF">third time in the music business
            is definitely the lucky one, and finding&nbsp;</font> <font color="#FFFFFF">three
